Buenos Aires, Amauta Testimonials

     Amauta of Buenos Aires is excellent! From the moment that I walked into Amauta to the last good-bye I felt that I was welcomed and appreciated at the school. There was a general feeling that they were there to help us in whatever we needed. It was great that their office doors were always opened and no matter what they were doing or with whom they were speaking, they would always invite me in if I needed to talk with them.
     A definite strength of the school is classes with well planned curricula and teachers who are prepared and trained... The two teachers that I had (Luis and Geraldine) were great. They brought in outside resources (CD player, videos from the web, newspaper articles, etc.) and exhibited an honest interest in our conversations and classes.
     The school atmosphere was relaxed, but professional. There are 5 or 6 bulletin boards with advice on city tours, museums, theatres, etc. Some of the teachers participated in the afternoon activities which impressed the students and showed that they cared about what was going on outside of their classes. The first activity of the week is always an introduction to mate, the famous Argentine drink. Along with the mate, a card game is taught and played. The rest of the week is filled with city tours, Argentine movie presentation, theatrical acting, telling of Buenos Aires urban legends, and of course, tango dancing lessons. The administration encourages the students to participate in the activities but always seemed to understand if some of the students opted out of the activities. - John Gunderson, Teacher,  Minnesota Valley Lutheran High School, Minnesota

     AMAUTA language school in Buenos Aires offers a great environment to learn Spanish. The teachers were extremely friendly and approachable and balanced the classes with an adequate mix of conversation and grammar. Furthermore, the classes were varied (including literature, drama, role-play and more) and pitched at the right level and included teachers from different countries in Latin America, enabling me to understand different accents and forms of Spanish. The additional activities (which included walking tours of the city, tango classes and visits to prominent museums in the city) encouraged me to learn much more about Argentina outside of the classroom and were a great way to get to know the other students. For an all -round language- and cultural-learning experience, I would definitely recommend AMAUTA. -    Matthew Benwell, 28 years old, UK

      In July 2009, I was studying at Amauta Spanish School in Buenos Aires. I decided to do the program of "Spanish and Volunteer Work". I didn't know much of Spanish when I came to Buenos Aires. That's why I really enjoyed the classes at Amauta, where I could learn the language quickly. I was surprized how fast I could make progress and have the first "real" conversations. 
     I liked the teachers and also the fact that there were very small classes. This gave us students the opportunity to improve more quickly, as the teachers could also respond to individual questions. Moreover, the atmosphere at the school was always very nice. It was not only about learning a language; it was also about getting to know the Argentinean culture and lifestyle. I felt like all the staff wanted me to feel at home: If you are looking for a place to have dinner, just ask! You will get at least 5 different recommendations!.
      Buenos Aires is an excellent place to learn Spanish, to live and to have a good time! If you want to get to know new places, learn Spanish and meet new people, just take the opportunity!"   Eva Weigand, 18 years old, Germany
